Conversation 156:  The Story, Journey and Passion (so far) of RD2Be, Liz Davitt “I can definitely tell a mindset difference between my undergraduate classes to my graduate classes (while taking them at the same time).  Graduate classes, I feel people are truly there to learn and grades are kind of out of the window. With undergraduate classes, people still care about grades a lot, that’s great but sometimes the learning can get lost ” Liz Davitt, RD2Be Today’s conversation is with Liz Davitt, a dietetic student at Iowa State getting her Masters in Dietetics and Exercise Science and we also work together.

Conversation 155:  Transitioning from Vegetarian, A Registered Dietitian Perspective with Carrie Moody, RDN With a new documentary out and the many discussions I have had with clients and other registered dietitians about following a plant based diet, I wanted to talk a little bit more about someone who has navigated this type of lifestyle. There is so much nutrition noise when it comes to food, especially when it comes to food from animals. In today’s conversation, I talk with Carrie Moody, a registered dietitian who was a vegetarian for a long time and we discuss why she became a vegetarian, how she navigated this eating lifestyle and why she circled back to eating animal based foods. All the things she has lived and learned along the way has lead her in developing her Metabolism Reset Program. A program designed to decrease the nutrition noise, focus on your health and eating real food, from all the food groups.  Please enjoy my conversation with Carrie. Connect with Carrie through her website Fit Balance

Conversation 154:  The Story, Journey and Passion of Elise Compston, RDN “I knew I wanted to see myself in managerial positions and I wanted to see my career take off and keep going onto the next thing and for me, I had to swallow my pride and ask why that is so important?  Why is that the thing holding me back? I had to look at my priorities and what is actually important to me is not going to be the title and the money, it is the human relationships and family. ” Elise Compston, RDN Today’s conversation is with Elise Compston, a registered dietitian who has a passion for recipe development, cooking really easy and delicious food and her beautiful family.  I have spent endless days drooling over Elise’s food on Instagram, like all her amazing nut butter creations, oatmeal bowls and sauces which all make sense after our great conversation.

“I wish there were more resources when I was a student and new dietitian about how it is ok to be imperfect. We have to take the pressure off.

Conversation 147:  The Story, Journey and Passion of Erin Hendrickson, RDN, LD “I was at a job where I loved the people I worked with, I just wasn’t fulfilled with the job role. It was one of those - if I don’t quit now, then I am going to waste all this time doing something I’m not passionate about that’s not really giving me a purpose.

Conversation 140 :  The Story, Journey and Passion of Brittani DaSilva, MS, RD “During my military service, I was taken back by the number of people in the military who were actually overweight.

I started to recognize these people weren’t like that because they chose it, they were like this because they were injured while serving, they had been deployed and were going through stress being separated from their families, or were experiencing PTSD after war and battling these scars inside of them while turning to food for comfort because of the sacrifices they made.” Brittani DaSilva, MS, RD Today’s conversation is with Brittani DaSilva, a registered dietitian, nutrition coach and US Army Veteran  who wants to end the war with diets and food guilt.  Brittani and I connected after she messaged me on about being from Iowa.
